The Saginaw County Sheriff's Department is reporting that four teenagers involved in a traffic crash on Gratiot, in Jonesfield Township, are being treated for critical injuries.

The two-vehicle crash occurred just east of Chapin before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 26 and completely shut down the roadway on Gratiot as the sheriff's department, along with the Jonesfield Township Fire Department and the Richland Township Fire Department, worked at the scene.

Police have arrested four people suspected of a Saginaw Township burglary and have seized thousands of dollars worth of merchandise that they believe was taken during other recent break-ins.

The investigation began when a Saginaw Township resident alerted police of a suspicious vehicle at his neighbor's house on the 5900 block of Birchcrest on Saturday, March 23, and gave officers the description of the vehicle.

A Saginaw man was shot and killed inside his home on Saginaw's West Side early this morning, according to family members gathered outside the crime scene surrounding the building.

Relatives identified the man as 26-year-old Tim Lard Jr. The incident occurred at 1108 S. Webster in an upstairs bedroom of the apartment inside the home, said Joe Spiller, who identified himself as Lard's grandfather.
